Review of Vaxxed: From Cover-Up to Catastrophe (2016) by Harvardmd — 31 Jan 2017

As Harvard trained doctor, I strongly recommend watching this - especially for expecting/parents. I have no reservations about this movie. As a child psychiatrist, I never knew about any of this until the controversy about the movie brought me out of curiosity to watch- I totally trusted the CDC- so I told my patients not to worry about this. I see today that I had a serious bias and blind side as since I have read extensively on the subject and listened to knowledgeable experts. The CDC has been implicated in other cover-ups, including one recently (Jan 2017) revealed by a FOIA showing how in 1999 the safety of mercury levels in children less than 18 months was misrepresented by the CDC. We need Robert Kennedy Jr. commission - it is overdue! Thank you VAXXED for opening my mind!

I don't understand anyone rating this '0': if you are new to the topic and skeptical, I get it then give it a '5' or something and keep an open mind and do your own research - a great online resource is Dr. Suzanne Humphries. A 'zero' suggests another motive for your rating - doesn't seem genuine. I gave this a '10' because I have no reservations, I'm a doctor and feel confident in my endorsement, and finally this is a most serious issue - the Autism-spectrum epidemic that even CDC website states impacts 1/68 children (1/42 boys and 1/189 girls). https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/autism/data.html.

As a society, especially physicians, we need transparency and open discussion at the very least. No more obfuscation and fear tactics - let's get this out in the open - we will only be better informed as a result.
